[DIGITAL Business Africa] \u2013<\/strong> By entering into a strategic cooperation with Ethio Telecom, CAMTEL is choosing to rely on one of Africa\u2019s leading telecom innovators to accelerate Cameroon\u2019s digital transformation. At the heart of this alliance lies a key priority: the expansion and scaling-up of Blue Money, CAMTEL\u2019s electronic payment service, now positioned to become a central driver of the country\u2019s digital economy.<\/p>\n

On December 4, 2025, in Yaound\u00e9, CAMTEL and Ethio Telecom signed a three-year Master Service Agreement (MSA). The ceremony, presided over by Judith Yah Sunday Epse Achidi,<\/strong><\/a> General Manager of CAMTEL, and Frehiwot Tamiru,<\/strong> CEO of Ethio Telecom, marked the launch of an unprecedented South\u2013South partnership between two state-owned operators determined to accelerate Africa\u2019s digital momentum.\"CAMTEL<\/a><\/p>\n

A<\/strong> strategic partnership to advance Cameroon\u2019s digital development<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With more than 86 million subscribers, 16,000 employees, and a turnover of approximately 731 billion CFA francs, Ethio Telecom ranks among the continent\u2019s most robust and structured telecom operators. Its remarkable transformation over the past six years\u2014driven by significant infrastructure investments, extensive service digitalisation and rapid progress in financial inclusion\u2014is now a source of inspiration for CAMTEL.<\/p>\n

For Judith Yah Sunday, the objective is clear: to leverage a successful African model to accelerate CAMTEL\u2019s internal restructuring, modernize its networks, digitalize its services, and, above all, scale up Blue Money. \u201cEthio Telecom is a model for us. They have transformed their country digitally. Their expertise will be essential to strengthening Blue Money and enhancing our ability to offer innovative financial services to Cameroonians,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n

Blue Money at the centre of the CAMTEL\u2013Ethio Telecom cooperation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the four priority pillars of the partnership, the expansion of Blue Money stands out as a strategic focus. CAMTEL intends to capitalise on Ethio Telecom\u2019s expertise\u2014particularly that gained through Telebirr, the most successful mobile money platform in the region with more than 40 million users.<\/p>\n

This transfer of know-how will be crucial in several areas:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 upgrading Blue Money\u2019s technical architecture<\/p>\n

\u2013 strengthening the platform\u2019s security and regulatory compliance<\/p>\n

\u2013 expanding its distribution network<\/p>\n

\u2013 developing new digital financial services tailored to local needs<\/p>\n

\u2013 scaling the service through a more ambitious and structured commercial strategy<\/p>\n

For CAMTEL, Blue Money is no longer a complementary product; it is a central major pillar of the company\u2019s digital transformation and a key instrument to position the operator as a vital player in Cameroon\u2019s mobile money landscape.<\/p>\n

From public service digitalisation to network modernisation<\/p>\n

Beyond Blue Money, the agreement also includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 support for deploying a sovereign Government Cloud<\/p>\n

\u2013 modernisation of telecom networks, including 4G, 5G, and innovative technologies<\/p>\n

\u2013 enhancement of customer experience<\/p>\n

\u2013 training programmes, mentoring, and extensive knowledge transfer between Ethiopian and Cameroonian teams.<\/p>\n

\"CAMTEL<\/a><\/p>\n

For Frehiwot Tamiru, CEO of Ethio Telecom, this partnership marks a significant step forward in intra-African cooperation. \u201cCAMTEL is engaging in a complete transformation. We are privileged to stand by their side to share our proven experience, particularly in digital and financial solutions,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

An accelerator for Cameroon\u2019s digital autonomy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

By integrating the expertise of a continental leader, CAMTEL aims to enhance its competitiveness, improve service quality, and offer digital solutions that meet the expectations of both citizens and businesses.<\/p>\n

This partnership could also help Blue Money emerge as a stronger and more attractive contender in Cameroon\u2019s mobile money market\u2014currently dominated by MTN Mobile Money and Orange Money\u2014while supporting broader national initiatives in digital public service delivery.<\/p>\n

The CAMTEL\u2013Ethio Telecom cooperation underscores a growing reality in Africa\u2019s digital landscape: the continent already possesses strong home-grown success models, and the future of its digital transformation will increasingly be built through South\u2013South partnerships rooted in shared expertise and innovation.<\/p>\n

If this collaboration delivers on its promises, Blue Money may soon become one of the most visible symbols of the new era of interconnectivity and modernisation that CAMTEL aims to drive.<\/p>\n
